Biography
Abdolmalek Rigi was born in 1983 to the Rigi tribe of Balochs in southern Iran, and he was educated in Karachi, Pakistan's Binnori Town seminary, from which many Taliban leaders had graduated. In 1998, he became the leader of the Islamist People's Resistance Movement of Iran (better known as "Jundallah"), an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that received assistance from the United States. In February 2010, he was arrested due to suspicions that he had murdered IRGC general Nur-Ali Shushtari in the 2009 Pishin bombing, and on 20 June 2010 he was hanged at Evin Prison in Tehran. Rigi's death caused backlash in Iran, leading to the 2010 Chabahar suicide bombing.
